CdA Teachers Ratify Agreement
By the end of the week, teachers in Coeur d'Alene will likely be working with a contract in place for the first time this school year. Members of the Coeur d'Alene Education Association met after school Monday at Lake City High School to consider a tentative agreement reached last week - with the help of a federal mediator - between the negotiating teams for the teachers union and the school board. The teachers ratified the agreement. Now, the school board must do the same. A school district spokeswoman, Laura Rumpler, said the trustees plan to meet late Thursday afternoon to consider ratification of the mediated agreement. (Among other things) the new contract includes a 0.5 percent base salary increase (and) no change to the health insurance co-payment amount or the co-insurance responsibility/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Do you consider the agreement fair/unfair?
